Had a Mavic Crossmax tubeless a while ago - can't remember the tire - and it was very hard to install and remove the tire...

The Crossmax is UST, a system that has been recognised as inferior compared to Stans setups as eurperg said.

Agreed, tubeless is a little bit fiddly - but once you find tyres that work with your rim you wont ever look back. E.g. I find I have to run at least 35psi in tubes to avoid pinching - on tubeless I safely run 22 front and 26 rear. The difference in ride quality really is incomparable.

I am also a Stan's fan. Probably you aren't going to get a lot of good advice on tubed setups here since most on this forum are probably running tubeless. I haven't used a tube in a Mountain tire in about 4-5 years.

Don't worry if you don't feel like trying tubeless to start. Yellow tape used to seal the spoke bed is still one of the lightest rim tapes around and Stan's rims still work great with tubes. Much of the benefit you get from the tubeless setups are still there using Stan's with tubes, albeit in a slightly reduced fashion. They have a wider inner width than many rims of similar outside widths which still helps you support a much larger volume tyre and drop the pressures much closer to a tubeless setup compared with say a 17mm inner width Mavic.
